Phila man charged after police chase

A New Philadelphia man has been charged after he sped away from police early Friday.

Jacob D. Albright, 20, of 1053 Miller Ave. NW, was charged with one count of felony fleeing and eluding, according to Officer Dave Morris.

Morris said he attempted to stop the vehicle on W. High Avenue at 1:52 a.m., but the driver wouldn’t stop and turned northbound onto 10th Street NW. The police report indicated that the driver “was running stop signs at speeds of 70 mph.”

The vehicle stopped at a dead-end road north of Miller Avenue NW, and the driver got out and ran away.
